Biochemistry and Molecular - Labs
Lovely Lab
We study the intersection of genes and the environment, in particular ethanol. We use the zebrafish as our model system and study the impact of gene-ethanol interactions on tissue morphogenesis and development of the facial skeleton.
Rife Magalis Lab
Our research examines pathogen within-host dynamics and global molecular epidemiology. Using advanced omics and evolutionary models with human and animal samples, we characterize viral and bacterial evolution to inform health outcomes.
